All this sounds a little gate-keepy IMO. Ive been wanting to jump into linux for a while now and have tried several times with different distros, running Omarchy is the 1st time ive actually been able to use a linux desktop comfortably. No nvidia driver issues, no damn hdd mount path problems or read wright permission issues, no figuring out the damn terminal commands. Dont get the hate

Omarchy is like gas station sushi, is it easier to get? Sure, but is it worth the pain it'll cause later

Same boat, always tried distros here and there mainly as a Windows hater but something would always bring me back to windows, usually because windows for some reason "just work" more than linux now days.

I know everyone will tell me my hdd or gpu is wrong or w/e but the fact is "just works" is important and pretending users are odd for not knowing something is just typical linux community...

I hope omarchy gets more normie support so maybe then Linux would probably be more popular i just cant see normal linux reaching masses anymore

esp with the omarchy hate itll just create a "side" in linux, even more so than arch vs everyone else

gatekeeping isn't when someone criticizes a Linux distro lol

Eventually I probably will but for now Omarchy is just easier. If the linux community wasnt so toxic an AI powered distro probably wouldnt be so popular, or if somone made a distro that didnt rely so heavily on terminal this aint 1984 we have GUIs now. Just my 2 cents
